Great Museums New Orleans: A Living Museum of Music Wendell Pierce of HBO’s “Treme” narrates an installment of the museum-hopping public-television series.

On that trek, sites visited include Congo Square, the Louisiana State Museum (for a look at Louis Armstrong’s first cornet and Fats Domino’s flooded piano), the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic, a Mardi Gras Indians parade, an after-school practice session for Derrick Tabb’s Roots of Music program and, of course, the Faubourg Treme. Interviews include Dr. Michael White, Ellis Marsalis, Irvin Mayfield, Bruce “Sunpie” Barnes, Bruce Boyd Raeburn of the Hogan Jazz Archives at Tulane University, Charles Chamberlain of the Louisiana State Museum and Alfred Lemmon of the Williams Research Center of the Historic New Orleans Collection. Beautifully shot, the film joins the list of must-see background works available to “Treme” fans in search of further enrichment. Sunday (May 16), 8 p.m. WYES.
